BIG DEAL DAY DRAMA! Iran Refuses To Commit, Makes Big Declaration; Trump 'Shocked' | 'NO PLANS...'

Donald Trump confidently declared on Truth Social that a landmark peace deal would be signed on Sunday, instantly reopening the blockaded Strait of Hormuz to global shipping. But Tehran quickly deleted that timeline. While months of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment have severely degraded Iran's conventional military infrastructure since February 28, Washington is discovering that physical destruction does not automatically equal diplomatic capitulation. Operating through Qatari intermediaries and Pakistani-brokered drafts, Iranian negotiators are stalling the text to demand the total return of frozen assets, transit fees for the strait, and a long-term drawdown of U.S. regional military bases. Instead of causing the regime to fracture from within as Washington explicitly predicted, the existential threat of war has only consolidated the hardline IRGC's domestic grip—turning a swift military victory into a grinding, slow-motion diplomatic chess match. #Iran #Trump #USIran #PeaceTalks #IranDeal #StraitOfHormuz #Qatar #MiddleEast #WestAsia #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #WorldNews Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
